The intriguing third-person shooter Hybrid, developer 5th Cell’s Xbox Live Arcade game, has been delayed, pushing it into 2012.
5th Cell’s creative director Jeremiah Slaczka stated that while Hybrid was “very well received… at GDC,” the game can be ”refined” by giving the developer ”an additional year” to ”take what (5th Cell has) learned and really drill down on our ideas to hopefully transform this game into something great.”
Translation: It’s turned into a buggy mess and it’ll take a few months to clean it up. Whatever the case, it looks good and hopefully the finished product will be amazing.
5th Cell is best known for Scribblenauts, and this game is about as far from that genre as you can get.
